I tried several times to create a photo book. I couldn't get the photos to sync and/or download every time. It didn't matter if I used my internet or data. I tried deleting my book and starting again. I will be deleting this app and look for something else.

I used this app to make a couple of hardcover photo books. Easy app to navigate. Allows you to edit photos after you upload them. It's not exactly cheap the quality is very high. I'm very pleased with the outcome.

I was looking forward to using this app to create yearly family memory books. However, I have not had luck using the app successfully. It only shows some of my photos and not all of them, limiting what imagines I can select. After I selected an image for the front page , it refused to load any more images to upload onto other pages. The app is very slow and glitches. The concept for the app is great, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver.
